Buffers Pension Scheme.

Gen. B. f. Butler is very much concern
ed about the accumulating surplus is the
treasury, withdrawing money from general
circulation, and threatening disaster, if
permitted to continue indefinitely, to the
business of the country. In speech at
Boston the other day he suggested, as the
easiest and quickest way of getting rid
of the surplus, to make a servicc pension
for every Union soldier who served in the
war who was honorably discharged, and,
after they are provided for, to apply the
balance to the. relief of needy EXON
federates. In other words, he would swell
enormously the already huge amount dis
bursed by the federal government for pen
sions, and still further aggravate the
pauperizing effect OF the wholesale waste
of money for pensions--money which has
been wrung from the people by inlquitous
taxation Of the necessaries of life. The
true plan, of course, is to reduce taxation,
and the prospect for such reduction is, we
are glad to say, becoming every day more
encouraging. Most ex Confederates, no
doubt, who recall General Buffers wanton
and vindictive course during the war, will
be astonished at the seeming generosity
of his proposition to extend federal aid to
his former enemies They need not be
distressed, however, by any very heavy
sense of obligation to the Mass .chusettS
hero, for his object is evidently either to
make himself 'sold" in the South with
view to future political experiments, or
to sugar coat the pill of big pension
haul so that Southern members Of Con-
gress will join hands with their Northern
and Western colleagues to pass it over the
veto which President Cleveland would be
sure to interpose. The suggestion is in
itself delusive, TOR there is. of course, no
substance in proposition which, if seri-
ously presented in Congress, wonli raise a
howl of derision throughout the republi
can camp. -confedefatfs do not ask
the aid of the federal government as "a
matter of mercy" as Gen. Butler puts it,
and they know very well that if they Were
to ask 1t they would only expose them
selves to insult and contumely.-Bllti

dollars, an unexpectedly large amount,
and it shows that the Baltimore and Ohio

contract puts the d. & o. virtually at the
mercy of the Pennsylvania road, and sus-
pends all its work on new lines. The New
York connection is postponed until the
contract expires. The financial condition
of the B. & 0. Co. has gradually become
worse, and the large expenses of the new

The residence of Cardinal Gibbons, o

The residence of Cardinal Gibbons, on
North Charles street, Baltimore, was en-
tered some time between midnight and
daybreak on Sunday morning by q thief
who managed to get into the library o'
the Cardinal, which is on the seco I'd floor
front, to the right of the doorway, and
stole two gold rings, one of which was
present from Pope Leo to Cardinal Gib-
bons. No money was taken. and there
was nothisg to show how the thief enter
ed the archiepiscopal residence. as no clue
was left. The detectives of the city are
in search of the clue. The thief took the
rings from a drawer in the Cardinals desk
after cutting away the woodwork around
the lock, so that the receptacle could be
readily opened without the use of a key
Considerable other property could have
been secured if the intruder had seen ft
to take it. Cardinal Gibbons before re-
turning to his bedchamber, which is in
another part of the archiepiscopal resi-
dence, has been the habit nightly OF re-
moving the handsome chain be wears
around his neck, and to which the golden
episcopal cross is suspended, and locked
it in the drawer of his library desk. On
Saturday night he started to follow this
usage, and had the jewelry in his hand
ready to deposit it, when bis attention
was attracted in another direction, and
he forgot - do so. The Cardinal, for the
first time in a long while, carried the cross
and chain to bis bedchamber, thereby
saving it ftom the hands of the thieves.
